Questions & Answers about إذا خسر المصنع، انخفض السهم، لذلك باعت المستثمرة حصتها.
How does لذلك function in this sentence?
The word لذلك expresses consequence and translates to therefore or so. It is literally made of the preposition لـ (for) and the demonstrative pronoun ذلك (that). Here, it links the conditional scenario to the investor's resulting action.
Why are the verbs خسر and انخفض in the past tense?
In Arabic, the conditional word إذا (if) is typically followed by verbs in the past tense, even if the general meaning could apply to the present or future. It frames the if clause and its direct result as an established scenario.
Why does the verb باعت end with the letter ت?
The base verb is باع (he sold). Because the subject doing the selling is المستثمرة (the female investor), we must add the feminine past tense suffix ت to make the verb match the subject's gender.
How is the word حصتها built?
It is a combination of the noun حصة (share or portion) and the attached possessive pronoun ها (her). Notice that the tied letter at the end of حصة opens up into a regular ت so it can physically connect to the pronoun suffix.
